Wow. If I dig deep, and read it out loud, I can just about understand half to 3/4 of that. Of course, the words I can't map to Hochdeutsch hang me up too much...
All of which says to me, I need to move back to Germany for a while, sometime, somehow. ;)
*nod* Almost definitely through ragnvaeig, my girlfriend, and possibly through graylion, etc., by extension.
I spent a year studying at the Philipps-Uni in Marburg a.d. Lahn. So, having gotten used to the regional Hessisch, it's not the world's hardest leap to Franconian... just a lack of vocabulary tripping me up. Well, that and not having had much real chance to practice in the seven years since I moved back to the States. ;)
If I had the money, it'd be a brilliant idea... sadly, five years of being a (low) single income couple don't leave much of a travel budget. We're making the wedding in April only because we're getting some help on the cost, and that's probably pretty much it for European Vacations 'til herself has her PhD and finds work. ;)
